In a thrilling UEFA Nations League match, the Belgian women's national team secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the English women's squad. The early goal scored by Belgium within the first four minutes set a rapid pace and established their aggressive intent. By the 16th minute, they extended their lead to 2-0, showcasing their offensive efficiency. Notably, Belgium's ability to capitalize on their limited corner opportunities with just 3 corner kicks throughout reflected their clinical finishing in open play situations.

England managed to respond with a goal at the 35-minute mark, closing the first half at a competitive 3-1 following another Belgian goal. England's eventual increase in corner kicks, numbering nine compared to Belgium's three, highlighted their strategy to apply pressure through set-piece situations. However, their inability to convert these into goals was a crucial difference maker, as was their slight discipline lapse, reflected in three yellow cards.

As the game progressed into the second half, England's efforts to turn the tide showed promise with a goal that tightened the scoreline to 3-2. But with both teams having multiple yellow cards toward the end, particularly during a sequence shortly before Belgium received their final yellow card, the game turned more conservative. This restricted England's ability to mount a cohesive comeback. Belgium, handling the game's physicality with their four yellow cards, maintained better control and thwarted England's adaptability and offensive threats, thus sealing their victory.
